Robinson PGP key

I've decided I should (re)acquire the capability to use PGP (GnuPG to be precise).

I work under the assumption that any major SIGINT agency that decides it has a specific interest in my correspondence will always be able to find the means to access it regardless of whatever crypto precautions I might try to take, so don't take this step as an invitation to send me things you wouldn't want our five-eyed friends and their counterparts elsewhere to know about.

But nothing says that everyone in the general public should be forced to leave all of their correspondence open for anyone to read at any time, so acquiring PGP seems like a reasonable thing to do.
